Question

TWO PARTS:
1)Derrick's garden is 18 1/2 feet long. He plants bulbs 3/8 of a foot apart. How many bulbs can Derrick plant in one row?
2)Derrick plants three rows of bulbs that cost $0.79 each. How much does he spend on bulbs?
Thank You!!

Answer 1

18.5 / (3/8) = 49 1/3
so 49 because it is hard to plant 1/3 bulb

3 * 49 = 147

147 * 0.79 = 116.13 before tax :)

Answer 2

This doesn't help me.

Answer 3

Thank you it helped me a lot. It really makes sense now that I saw this.
